CALABASAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DTS, a global leader in developing extraordinary next-generation audio, imaging and sensing technology and a wholly owned subsidiary of Xperi Holding Corporation (NASDAQ: XPER) (“Xperi”), announced today that TCL, a globally-renowned consumer electronics manufacturing company, is joining the DTS Play-Fi ecosystem to enhance the consumer experience in the home.

“Xperi creates extraordinary experiences at home and on the go for millions of consumers around the world, elevating content and how audiences connect with it in a way that is more intelligent, immersive and personal. Today, consumers expect these experiences to work seamlessly and without wires,” said Dannie Lau, general manager, DTS Play-Fi. “We are thrilled to collaborate with TCL to extend the reach and adoption of Play-Fi enabled products in the market. This collaboration furthers our mission of bringing true wireless interoperability to the largest and ‘best-of-breed’ consumer electronics manufacturers around the world.”
